🧵Here we go again, another anti-#MAID activist in academe spouting the usual intellectually dishonest misread of Canada’s assisted dying laws, trying to convince the lay public there’s something grievously wrong. There isn’t. Here, the @globeandmail’s learned contributor 1/13
@DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail Oh David. Wait for disabled people to come... You don't know us. @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof @arianek @greensnail_ and anyone else wanna tell Dave to shhh. Because Dave, intolerable to me is what matters. A doctor has to sign off sure. But not intolerable to you.
@veganlovebunny @globeandmail @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof @arianek @greensnail_ One might almost read a threat in there, but also inadvertent agreement with one? 🤷🏼🤔🤷🏼
@DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof @arianek @greensnail_ Your grandkids deserve better than a sad old man doing whatever the fvk this is. Seriously. We are tired of people like you always getting air time. Sit down. Listen. Ask us what we want to say. #ableism
@veganlovebunny @DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof @arianek Keep shaming them bc the excuse they give their descendents is it’s for them 🔥
@greensnail_ @veganlovebunny @DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof @arianek A lawyer explaining the law and legislation impartially doesn’t need to be shamed. Those of you bullying him should be shamed, shame on you.
@VoterNerd @greensnail_ @veganlovebunny @DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof @arianek impartially? i think this is the part you’re getting wrong
@g_3_r_o @greensnail_ @veganlovebunny @DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof @arianek Yes impartial, educated, unbiased, professional, unemotional and no ulterior motives. Stop bullying him. Shame on you.
@VoterNerd @g_3_r_o @greensnail_ @DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof @arianek He isn't being bullied. He is talking about us, over us, for us and we're saying:
@veganlovebunny @g_3_r_o @greensnail_ @DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof @arianek Maid IS NOT ABOUT people with disabilities. Good grief man. Maybe in your life, the world revolves around you but newsflash- there’s millions of others where it does not.
@VoterNerd @veganlovebunny @g_3_r_o @greensnail_ @DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @ODSPoor @cancelproof @arianek MAiD is only about us. You have to be disabled to qualify. 🤦♀️
@VoterNerd @veganlovebunny @g_3_r_o @greensnail_ @DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof Any persons incapacitated by illness, injury, or wounds are by the definition disabled. Maybe step back and educate your ableist mindset.
@VoterNerd @veganlovebunny @g_3_r_o @greensnail_ @DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof What a bizarre thought. You literally can't use MAiD unless you are disabled. You can however use MAiD if you are disabled but don't identify as disabled.
@VoterNerd @veganlovebunny @g_3_r_o @greensnail_ @DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @losinghopein @cancelproof @arianek MAiD is ONLY about people with disabilities, we are the qualifiers. You know so little on a topping and yet talk down to us? Shame on you now.
@VoterNerd @veganlovebunny @g_3_r_o @greensnail_ @DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof NEWS FLASH: Disability: a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities. A disorder, condition, dysfunction, impairment, affliction, ailment, a disadvantage or handicap, especially one imposed or recognized by the law.
@VoterNerd @veganlovebunny @g_3_r_o @greensnail_ @DavidHamer_1951 @globeandmail @ODSPoor @losinghopein @cancelproof Hey hun, little problem here. You are NOT listening. MAID is being used to co-erce disabled people in Canada to use it. I don't want to hear your blah blah blah about laws and rules. There have been many disabled people that have used it from the last five years.
